Abstract:

An effective method is proposed to estimate the parameters of a dynamic grain flow model (DGFM). To this end, an improved artificial bee colony (IABC) algorithm is used to estimate unknown parameters of DGFM with minimizing a given objective function. A comparative study of the performance of the IABC algorithm and the other ABC variants on several benchmark functions is carried out, and the results present a significant improvement in performance over the other ABC variants. The practical application performance of the IABC is compared to that of the nonlinear least squares (NLS), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and genetic algorithm (GA). The compared results demonstrate that IABC algorithm is more accurate and effective for the parameter estimation of DGFM than the other algorithms.
